JOSEPH (J. HENDERSON, OF ALBANY, NEW YORK.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 32,691, dated July 2, 1861.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosEPH C. HENDERSON, of Albany, in the county ofAlbany and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use acertain new and useful Improvement in CookingStoves; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawing, making part of this specification, wherein Figure l isa vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a plan at the line a, a, ofFig. 1, the top plate being removed, and Fig. 3 is a plan of the finesbelow the oven.

Similar marks of reference denote the same parts in all the figures.

. My said invention is an improvement upon that for which Letters Patentwere granted to me May 1st, 1860, for cooking stoves. \Vith the saidstove an oven or heater has been applied at the rear, the same beingmovable, and generaly formed of tin.

My present invention consists in an arrangement of fines applied in astove containing two ovens; also in a peculiar register fitted in frontof the grate in such a manner that a roaster can be applied to the frontof the stove, and receive the direct rays of heat from the fire in thegrate.

In the drawing 6, b are the legs of the stove.

c, is the bottom plate, (Z, the back plate and c, e, the side plates; fis the front plate and doors similar to those in my aforesaid patent;and the draft enters by the register at 1, descends between the doorsand plate 00, entering the oven on each side of the ash tube h, thencethrough the space 2, over the oven to the fire in the grate g the sameas in said patent, except that I introduce a basket or similar grate soas to keep the fire from contact with the register plates 4E and 5, thatare provided in the plate 00, the object of said register being to allowthe direct rays of heat from the fuel to pass through said register,when open, to any articles contained in a reflector or roaster placed infront of the stove, the doors f 7, being opened for that purpose. Theregister being located so near to the fire is exposed to considerableheat which would warp and twist the plates forming said register, Itherefore make the ver tical sections in a curved or corrugated shape asshown in Fig. 2, which not only prevents the vertical sections or barsfrom warping by the heat, but also allows the edges of the plates comingin contact to be finished off true, with greater facility, so that thereg ister shuts much tighter.

The direction of the draft through the oven is indicated by the. arrows,and from I the fire the draft passes either through the descending sideflues n, n, thence along the bottom fines beneath the oven, formed bythe plates 9, g, and to the pipe 0, as hereafter indicated, or when thedamper m, is open for the purpose of kindling, the draft goes direct tosaid pipe at 0.

7c is a second oven connected with the oven 2', by the pipes 3, 3, sothat there is not only a circulation of the heat, but also a ventilationof the oven 7:.

p is the fiue in the center between the ovens z, and 7c, and Z, is adamper to said flue.

1', is a deflecting plate beneath the oven is, to direct the heat as itemerges from the center fine, (under 2,) toward the ends of the oven 7c,and thus equalize the heat, and the draft ascends through the back flues, and passes over the top of the oven is, as indicated by the dottedarrows, in consequence of the division plates t, Figs. 1 and 2 It willnow be seen that when the dampers Z, and m, are closed the ovens k andz, are

both heated; the oven 2', will not however be injuriously affectedbecause the heat travels around the said oven 2', in the usual manner,and the heat ascends in the flue p, but does not travel through thesame; hence becomes a dead flue but if the damper Z, is open the ovenis, will not be so much heated and can be used for warming articles i11-stead of cooking. I am thus enabled to in clude within my stove twodistinct ovens, that may be used either separately for distinctoperations or may both be heated at most uniformly so as to be capableof performing corresponding duties.

The fines or pipes 3, 3, might be provided with dampers if desired. Aseparate heater to the back of the stove is dispensed with by myconstruction; and the oven 2', is not exposed to any cooling influences.

\Vhat I claim and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is 1. Thearrangement of the ovens i and 7c, and fines n, a, and p, and damper Z,in the manner and for the purposes specified.

2. The arrangement of the deflector 1",

and plates 25, t, in combination With the fines As Witness my signaturethis first day of p and n, n, for directing the draft as it' April 1861.
